“At Chipotle we don’t have multiple job titles for our entry level employees but all of our crew will play the role of dishwasher, cashier, server, host, bartender, cook, prep cook, etc. so be prepared to learn a lot and work hard if you join the team,” the restaurant said.

“Most of the jobs that we are hiring for are entry level positions. If you are interested in interviewing for a restaurant general manager or assistant restaurant manager position and have previous restaurant management experience you can search our careers page for more opportunities as we may have some of those positions available,” Chipotle added. “Most of these management positions are filled internally but there are some exceptions.”

Chipotle, which has more than 1,600 locations, markets itself using the idea of “Food With Integrity.” According to the restaurant’s website the idea is defined as, “Now we want to know the sources for all of our ingredients, so that we can be sure they are as flavorful as possible while we are mindful of the environmental and societal impact of our business.”
